CO New and young FD owner

Hello names Bobby, from Colorado Springs, Colorado. I just recently got working on my 94 RX-7 I rebuilt it with my dad. I will post my car soon and reason why I said im young is im only 15 :p so I guess I'm lucky to own a FD... I'm still need more info on these rotary engines so thats why I signed up.. But soon I'll swap out my stock twins for a single turbo.. I'm going to the RX-7 meets over here and still collecting knowledge from them... But anyways I'm happy I joined and soon will know alot about this car...

15? RX-7? Turbo? Please tell me you've been racing go-karts since you were 12 or this story won't last very long.

Nonetheless, I applaud any set of circumstances that can bring a father and son together on a good old car rebuild project. Here's hoping my boy (11 yrs old) will soon get the car bug.

Thanks for taking the time to register and welcome aboard to RX-7 Club!

15 and a 1994 RX-7, I never !!

15! Wow. How does insurance work for you guys over there?

You have to be at least 25 over here to get decent quotes on insurance, if you're under 24 I've seen insurance as high as 3-4K a year!

I was 52 when I got my first FD and love it ever since.
You will have a great time with it.
Just never sell it.

Sweet car. I've been on these boards for a while but just lurking - hoping to pick up an FD of my own soon.
